Constraint decay is an issue with all LLM-based agentic development, at least for now.

Humans can maintain a long- and medium- term memory of constraints that they consciously (or subconsciously!) apply to the code that they write. The current crop of AIs are all amnesiacs, like the protagonist in Memento, falling back onto general instead of institutional knowledge.

For now, we are safe. We can rent out our meat brains for money for a little while longer.

Next year? Who knows...
